Structural Rectangular Spread Footing Analysis

1. This program assumes that the spread footing is in fact "rigid", so that the bearing pressure is distributed
linearly on a homogeneous soil. (Note: the actual footing is generally not "rigid", nor is the pressure beaneth
it distributed linearly. However, it has been found that solutions using the assumed "rigid" concept are
adequate and generally result in a conservative design.)
